is it legal? could more businesses follow suit? if even when they say it's not, it's always about "money." ♪ melissa: first, let's take a look at the day's market headlines. fiscal cliff years made a comeback and strong retail sales are not enough to offset the concern. the dow closed down 42 points. facebook shares some otherbest in four months. two formerly bearish analysts upgrade their outlook citing increasing revenue from mobile ads. and as our own charlie gasparino first reported, mary schapiro stepping down as chairman of the sec. officially leave office on december 14th. she ran the securities regulator for nearly four years. president obama will appoint current sec commissioner to run the agency. all right.

now to our top try. warren buffett support for raising taxes on the rich takes a controversy in its turn in an op-ed in today's new york times. the billionaire investor says let's forget about the rich in culture ridge. income is increased. forever for see investment of the charities. so buffett is on target with this. raising taxes on the rich actually have no affect on their investment behavior. let's bring in scott martin, chief investment strategist and founder and ceo of market 76. thank you for joining me. give me a reaction to this. >> i'm really surprised. i look at buffett as asavvy businessman and one who would not put a dime toward the u.s. government if he had a choice with regards to a buyout because certainly is not a great balance sheets they carry. it just doesn't make a lot of sense for me to say, if you're going to rase the barriers to entry, change the overa landscape of something like

raising taxes on investments, why you don't think that would discourage investors. to me, if you like history and see when taxes have gone up, you always see a negative effect. look at gdp alone. when the cuts from bush came through, gdp went up by almost 2 percent on average per quarter. before the cuts it was lower. that's something he needs to look at. melissa: it just seems so logical that if you take a dollar out of an investor sand, that impacts is behavior. >> i tnk that it is important to look at what people do rather than what they say so that we don't end up action -- accidentally inflating initiative posiion. what we do that markets 76 is monitor 2,000 advisers who are looking at about 70 billion worth of assets under management from affluent individuals, and what we are seeing in the data is no change of all. melissa: the tax situation hasn't changed yet. >> well, typically people look at markets as leading indicators

we would say that typically a flood individuals are going to act in advance of developments that they consider coming down the pike. the data is saying that somebody is going to back down on the democratic side. melissa: y'all think the sell-off as the election has been because people are anticipating taxes going up? the market has been terrible since the election. >> i think the market has been a little bit volatile, but i don't think that the sell-off as unnecessarily massive. the behavior n the investors indicates otherwise. we are seeing flows into of advisers and adises sticking it -- melissa: would you think? >> i disagree. very little interest. if you look at the volume alone, contrary to my muni bonds, one of the best of the year after the election. to your point about the taxation of other assets. to meet the market is already reacting to this approach and

what we think will happen in 2014 and 13. that's with a think is what is really going on. the market has had a terrible runs as the election. melissa: go ahead. >> i don't think you could have it both ways. the government's having terrible balance sheets and then trumpet the performance of many bonds. when it comes down to it, we are looking at is so low volume behavior in the market. at does not indicate a whole lot of certainty. melissa: what i think, if you think about the basic logic of the situation, take a dollar away from an investor, they invest less. the only time that doesn't come into affect is whenyou are warren buffett and have so many dollars you can't even keep track of the. for the average investor or the retired investor living of the dividends and has just their investments and social security try it is going to impact

behavior. >> right. the average investor, the average saver who has been punished by the federal reserve. unsaying munis are great investment, but if you want to talk about government bonds, who is buying treasury bonds here? the federal reserve. as of the average investor just to get nothing. that's like going broke safely. and that's the other question. let's tax the wealthy. well, what is wealthy? sunday that as 10 million in the bank, had a good year. there is not a clear picture of what the definition of that is. melissa: even if they are in daer, but this does not hurt the warren buffett's of the world and that they n't mind it, but a whole bunch of people who have saved for retirement under trying to live off those investments and dividends. it's going to hurt them instead. i don't lose sleep over tha. but we do worry about the much

smaller investor, maybe he doesn't impact the market where you think. they share care about this. >> that is entirely reasonable position to take, but it is also a little bit, let's say condescending to think that those people don't know what is best for them. melissa: i didn't say they don't know what's best for them. the amount they have available to investors less. they don't have a lot of extra dollars. >> i wasn't trying to indicate that you were saying that. those people tend to be reacting to the news that obama was reelected in a way that indicates that they are not terribly concerned about tht. all i can do is monitor the data and tell you where the risk is going and where the risk is coming off. what i'm seeing is that they're putting respond. it might be the case that they're doing it because they're good -- getting private -- pushed further of the treasury curve, but it is what it is. melissa: thanks to both of you. we appreciate your time.

president obama is supercharging his campaign to raise taxes on the wealthy. taking the fight online sending mass e-mails to supporters to massing them to use social networking sites like twitter and facebook and youtube stirs their congressmen and women to support this plan. democratic strategist and political analyst says these tactics could backfire. he joins me now. >> i think what the president is doing is fair. he should be activating the millions of people out there who have supported his policies in the context of the presidential campaign. when you have moss -- massive lobbying efforts going on for all sorts of industries to and what ishe scope of negotiation, you should absolutely get the public inlved and try to use their ergy. it is fair to be doing this. he has to be careful. the obama administration has to be judicious with the amount that it taps this network.

you have millions of people here . you want to activate their energy only when it's absolutely necessary, and think it is. we're looking at the number one priority right now are at the beginning of this administration . melissa: how big of an impact something like this has. if you try and get people all excited on facebook and twitter, what they're really going to do? call their congressman. the congressman are pretty sophisticated people. just reelected. the most time possible for ther constituents to forg and also know that president obama fired them up to call them -- to get people to go call. they know where it's coming from i wonder if it's worth it. >> i don't think it is a political tactic. ureters suggesting that the congressman easily checked these people are just pawns in the obama administration. i don't think the art. if ty're calling their congressman, the congressmaman e accountable, as you know, a democratic society.

and so ad if they are airing their opinions, i think the congressman are absolutely going to have to listen to what the people who voted in their district of st. lissa: very focused along the lines of who is going to vote for me and who is not. the people who will respond to a pretty hard-core democrats. it's a group of people, you know where they stand. i don't know that that necessarily influences their action. and now your out there and think that. i don't think it's new information there is a constituency that each congressman or woman has that once this obama administration priorities past and has a certain outlook and the fiscal cliff, but every single one of the people that are voting and that persons district has an interest in this fiscal cliff negotiation happening, and interest in the compromise being made. and so those -- when the first

freshman wave of the party is came in in 2010, when we are negotiating the grit -- debt ceiling this would be the first a dull moment for these freshmen tea party years. this is a second of all moment, and both sides are going to have to make serious painful concessions whether democrat who sacrificed domestic spending on programs that ou think a really important or republican. and generate more revenue with taxation. what the constituents once a republicans to take their oath of office more seriously. melissa: everybody has a stake in the ground about what they want their congressman to do. all very different. that's or hung up. that's -- thank you for coming up. >> thanks for having me. melissa: an unprecedented power grab assets of violent protests as that treat sets and before israel and a mosque. how quickly could the region's fragile lps unravel?

♪ melissa: a sudden power grab by egyptian president sparking serious protests, but now apparently making some partial concessions to egypt's top judges to help diffuse the crisis. the groundn the mideast is shifting by theday. israel is taking no chances, despite the cease-fire. the country is now testing a new iron dome-like missile defense system called david slang. it will stop midrange rockets. is it preparing for a new wave of turmoil? we turn to naval analyst with the institute for war. welcome back to the show. i wt to jump riht in. let me ask you about what is going on in egypt. today you think mohammad really is? when we left for thanksgiving break last week he had stepped in and helped settle this

problem and brought about the cease-fire. even the israelis said maybe he is more moderate than we thought. all this and he makes this huge power grab in his own country saying that his rule is about law, basically. judy you think he is? >> thank you. it is a pleasure to be here. that is the million-dollar question. who is the and what to see what. it looks like he was committed to peace, committed to the process of at least normalizion in the short term of relations between israel and gaza. this latest power grab, a lot of people, including myself, by surprise. important to keep in mind that there are three power centers in egypt. the civilian elected leaders, including president more see in the parliament. second, the judiciary. and third, the military. what hettempted to do was take away a good deal of the judiciary authority and take it to himself which has been met by immediate and stiff resistance from the judiciary and apparently a good deal of the

egyptian population as well. melissa: and this seems like his biggest problem is probably economic. i mean to know when you look at what has happened to this country and probably what inspired, you know, the eruption in the first place that brought him to power there, the biggest wheat importer in the world, ultrasensitive to food price rings as a result. tourism in a freefall obviously. people used to go see the pyramids. thisas a big source of income. do you think that economics will be the thing that comes along and undo him? >> well, as you are fond of saying, it's all about the "money." get right down to it. egypt and the poor economy for quite some time and it is degrading. we see tourism plummet, and there is no hope of that coming back anytime soon. we don't see any real industrial activity in egypt. we see a very inefficient agricultural sector. a lot of things are wrong with the egyptian economy, and unfortunately president more see in the muslim brotherhood are focused on an agenda of

distribution, redistribution of wealth and the welfare state which is just not a prescription for economic succes in the short term i think he is trying to shore up his power by taking some power back from the judiciary. then he will try to appeal to the poorest egyptians by redistributing. melissa: he better do that quick. don't want to run at a time without asking you about david's slang. a lot of made -- a lot was made of the iron dome. the net cost to israelis to shoot down one rocket is somewhere between $50,150,000. at the same time, you know, the moss is being supplied with rockets that are a few thousand dollars. you can see if this was just a battle of money that israel would lose pretty quickly. is david's a sling any cheaper or more effective? what do you think? >> first off, iron dome performed fantastic. the follow-on, israel knows it has to drive its cost per

projectile down. there is no easy way to talk about this other than saying, iron dome is fairly expensive for what it does. they are looking to develop the system. in france the technological advantage. they can drive a little closer toward parity in terms of the economic struggle. melissa: any idea how it works differently? i know it's pretty new. >> it's no problem at all. iron dome is basically a smaller version of the patriot missile systems. it shoots down smaller projectiles than the patriot missile system is designed to shoot down, but its use down ballistic projectiles, ballistic missiles or ballistic rockets. but david slang is designed to shoot down everything that ironbound can shoot down in addition to that it will she down cruise missiles which fly at a much lower altitude and are more difficult to detect and target

depending upon what did you pick you could be looking at 26%, 32%. expecting today, cybermonday, 20 percent growth. those are phenomenal numbers. melissa: i sort of thing people shop on the first and last and not in between. is that have really works? >> yet the most and the first and last date, but you do hve people every day going. in fact among when you look at most people, something like 59 percent of people out there over the weekend said they have only completed about a quarter of a shopping. melissa: still way ahead of me. a lot of people have estimated about 3 percent more people will spend this year than last. tear 4%. home values are terrible. unemployment is awful. the economy is terrible. europe is falling apart. the fiscal cliff as everyone terrified. the market is scary. how can people be out there spending more than last year? >> pent-up demand. have been coming every year,

hearing about one negative thing after another since the 2008 banking crisis. it has been terrible. people are ready to move on. melissa: they don't just get used to spending less? >> people who are rational. but the average guy out there is broke and is probably always going to be broke. there is nothing hard wired and us to be prudent. we go out and spend everything that we have. and then some. and d you do have -- even though unemployment is high. we have more people in the work force to more people working in a year ago. that helps move us down the line a low bid. melissa: okay. thank you for coming on. great information. so there are plenty of ways to get fired. what about not getting a flu shot? one employer is terminating scores of workers. is it even legal? the details are next. i have been fired, not for a flu shot. plus, green energy requirements help push up electricity costs across the u.s., but a new push

these are people that are working in a health care situation. like you said. they want them to be immune. but it's kind of like no one is forcing you to have the job. if this is the requirement, it's almost like larry uniform. if you're not willing to have the flu shot or quit smoking you can't have the job. >> i have a mixed feeling about this. we only have a 42 percent compliance for the flu shot. i wanted to be 100 percent so that we treat this herd immunity let's get the whole herd vaccinated. melissa: one darn strain. >> it's actually try. restrains. it said debt virus. it's not giving anybody the flu. this mandatory. i want everybody to take it. what if somebody get a bad analogy to this shot. you have to take it. what if they get sick? melissa: what if we find that there is some side effects of these flu vaccines. maybe that is what is giving
